[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 7781581, member: 6796661"] Yes, after Toys-R-Us shut down, the main source for most games and toys is probably Walmart and Target. I've read that Kaybee Toys may be making a come back, but its launch was pushed back. Games by James can be found in many malls, but you'd need to make a special trip for "games" rather than just "toys" or "gifts." At a Walmart or a Super Target, you can pick up up groceries, buy clothes, get necessities for the kitchen, common hardware, and you can pick up a birthday/x-mas gift from the toy aisles for your (grand)kid/niece/nephew/kid's schoolmate. I've actually been impressed with Target's game selection. It is small, but well curated. For hard-core gamers, you are not going to find anything new. But Target is a great way to introduce popular games to new gamers: Catan, Exploding Kittens, Cards Against Humanity, and D&D can be found among Monopoly, Scrabble, Operation, Sorry, and other classics. Target also stocks a decent selection of Magic the Gathering and Pokemon cards, right up next to the check out area. Target has definitely seen the trends in gaming and an opportunity to sell D&D to someone who only knows it from Big Bang Theory. [/QUOTE]
